‘A serious lack of civic sense’: Reddit user’s ‘honest reflection’ on Indian tourists’ behaviour goes viral

travel often gives a unique perspective of human behavior, and for a user of Redditor, she presented a modern trip to Singapore some amazing ideas. The user shared his ideas about the number of Indian tourists who behave in public places abroad – the notes that have resonated quickly to others.

While sitting in the hall, awaiting his return trip to New Zealand from Singapore, one of the users shared a leaflet hit on a sensitive tendon for many on the Reddit website.

His sincere thinking about how some Indian tourists abroad behaved talks about civil sense, entitlement, and how Indians are seen abroad.

He started by saying: “This is not a loud or hateful post, but rather honest thinking,” defining his experience. Before this trip, he said that he watched only videos or heard stories about how certain groups behaved abroad, but his vision was revealed in the actual time was something else.

He wrote: “In particular, I am talking about how a lot of Indians (my people) tend to act in public places when traveling.” Over the course of only five days, note a fixed pattern of frustration.

He wrote: “Almost every time I found myself amid a crowd of Indians, things became noisy, chaotic, frankly, very embarrassing. A lot of screaming, unnecessary noise, and most importantly all, cut waiting queues. Not once, not twice, but several times a day.” What caught his attention more is that other Indians often criticized such behavior, which is what, as he said, “says a lot.”

He admitted that travel can be exhausted and one -time accidents occur, but when such behavior becomes a frequent theme, it indicates something deeper. “It reflects a dangerous shortage of the basic civil sense.”

He pointed out that ignoring is not limited to others in public places, but also towards people within their group as well.

Redditor reflections have exceeded the surface. He linked these notes to a greater cultural issue, which is the entitlement. He said: “It is a disappointing matter frankly. We have a rich culture and a lot that we should be proud of, but general behavior like this really undermine all of this.”

He added that what we miss is not awareness, but the intention. “I hope there is more focus in my homeland on learning how to act with respect in common places, especially when we are in another country where we represent more than just ourselves.”

This post sparked a vital discussion on the platform, as his colleagues in Redditors shared their ideas. One of the commentators commented, “Merit and lack of civil sense. Also, the fact that we believe in some way is that we are the most respectable people around the world while we are in fact one of the most hated people.”

He shared his last point of view from Europe, “I would like to add that most people behave as if they were released from prison, especially if they are a group of men. People have a mindset that they are only for a vacation, so this will not have any consequences. I see that all the time here in Europe. Indians who live here really nice and behave well. Indian tourists are the worst, followed by the Americans.”
